    My artistic adventure

    When I was a child in Ireland, I went to bed late, and I could not sleep past six. One morning, I
    found a Spanish television show with a French man who was painting a beautiful countryside with
    oil paints.
    Right then, I began watching this show. With his quiet voice he explained his natural way of
    painting, and he quickly made trees and rivers, simply by moving his hand across the paper. He
    made it look simple and easy, so I thought I could do it by myself.
    Every Sunday morning, I would try to paint what he was painting on the screen, but I needed oil
    paints to make my paintings as beautiful as his. I could not buy oil paints; I was only seven, and
    my parents would not buy them for me. Then I decided to use my mothers cosmetics and paper
    for my painting. I was ready to paint my first picture.
    After my mum saw what I did with her things, I was told I could not paint again. This put an end
    to my idea of using food the next time to make a picture. After a while, I stopped watching the
    French painter. It was difficult for me to simply watch him when I was unable to paint

    JONATHANS TRIP TO COLOMBIA
    I went to Colombia last summer. My journey began on the Caribbean coast and ended on the
    border with Ecuador. Colombia is a splendid country, extremely diverse and full of wonderful
    people. I will tell you why.
    In South Colombia there is a city called Pereira; just outside you can find a track where you will
    see a farm Villa Maria a hidden paradise that takes a long a time to get to-. It is a working
    coffee farm located in the middle of valley. Coffee and plantain grow as far as the eye can see.
    The farm is made up of the house and the processing plant. The family business has guest at the
    house for just $45.000 a night. This includes 3 home cooked meals a day, a swimming pool, and
    as much coffee as you can drink. The scene is quite unbelievable. Bamboo chairs rest on the
    corners of the Villa, mangos hang from the trees, parrots and birds fly wild.
    A wonderful man named Hector who runs the farm is happy to show guests around the coffee
    processing plant. By day, the only sounds are of the horses coming down the valley side carrying
    food. By night, the wildlife comes alive, and depending on the time of the year thunderstorms
    offer a spectacular light show. For those who wish to escape, Villa Mara is the answer
    This is just one attraction of many in Colombia. I could write pages on the country and not get
    bored. I graduate next year and I cant wait to return to this beautiful country. Some of those
    reading may be stimulated to do the same.
